Roots (The) - The Fire lyrics
rate me(feat. John Legend) [John Legend] Ohhhh, the fire, the fire Ohhhh, the fire, the fire [Chorus: John Legend] There's something in your heart and it's in your eyes It's the fire, inside you Let it burn You don't say good luck You say don't give up It's the fire, inside you Let it burn [Black Thought] Yeah, and if I'm ever at the crossroads and start feeling mixed signals like Morse code My soul start to grow colder than the North Pole I try to focus on the hole of where the torch goes In the tradition of these legendary sports pros As far as I can see, I've made it to the threshold Lord knows I've waited for this a lifetime And I'm an icon when I let my light shine Shine bright as an example of a champion Taking the advantage, never copping out or cancelling Burn like a chariot, learn how to carry it Maverick, always above and beyond average Fuel to the flame that I train with and travel with Something in my eyes say I'm so close to having the prize I realise I'm supposed to reach for the skies Never let somebody try to tell you otherwise [Chorus] [Black Thought] One love, one game, one desire One flame, one bonfire, let it burn higher I never show signs of fatigue or turn tired cause I'm the definition of tragedy turned triumph It's David and Goliath, I made it to the eye of the storm, feeling torn like they fed me to the lions Before my time start to wind down like the Mayans I show 'em how I got the grind down like a science It sounds like a riot on hush, it's so quiet The only thing I hear is my heart, I'm inspired by the challenge that I find myself standing eye to eye with Then move like a wise warrior and not a coward You can't escape the history that you was meant to make That's why the highest victory is what I'm meant to take You came to celebrate, I came to sever great I hate losing, I refuse to make the same mistake [John Legend] Ohhhh, the fire, the fire Ohhhh, the fire, the fire [Chorus] [John Legend] Ohhhh, the fire inside you The fire inside you The fire inside you The fire inside you
